RESUMO
ObjectiveTo analyze the medical services, quality and safety of rehabilitation medicine departments in general hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals in 2021 in perspectives of structure, segment and outcome quality. MethodsWe analyzed the data from National Clinical Improvement System of the National Health Commission, involving 9 328 hospitals, including all secondary and above general hospitals and rehabilitation hospitals, as well as traditional Chinese Medicine hospitals and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine hospitals in 2021. A total of 2 513 sampling hospitals that equipped with rehabilitation wards were included. ResultsAmong the 9 328 general hospitals surveyed this year, only 2 713 had rehabilitation wards. In general hospitals, the average number of physicians per bed in 56.77% hospitals, the average number of rehabilitation therapists per bed in 80.36% hospitals, and the average number of nurses per bed in 53.53% hospitals did not meet the national requirements, and the average number of rehabilitation medical personnel per bed in rehabilitation medicine departments in different regions was significantly different. The rates of early rehabilitation intervention were 13.45%, 20.67% and 29.74% respectively in department of orthopedics, department of neurology and intensive care units in general hospitals. The average improvement rate of activities of daily living of discharged patients was 77.87% in rehabilitation department of general hospitals, and 69.01% in rehabilitation hospitals. ConclusionIn 2021, professional medical services, quality and safety of rehabilitation medicine in China have improved steadily. However, most general hospitals in China still have not configured the rehabilitation wards, and there are problems such as the total number of rehabilitation medical personnel in the country does not meet the requirements, early rehabilitation intervention is significantly insufficient, and the implementation of important evaluation and therapies is deficient. The effect of rehabilitation still needs to improve. It is necessary to continuously promote capacity building of the medical rehabilitation to improve the quality of medical rehabilitation services.
RESUMO
Objective sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey on outpatients in two hospitals in Guangdong province in order to evaluate patients’ satisfaction with the quality of medical service.

RESUMO
ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the Social Representations of nurses from an Emergency Care Unit about the care provided to people with mental disorders. Method: Qualitative exploratory study, supported by the theoretical and methodological framework of the Theory of Social Representations. Interviews were conducted from July to August 2021. The data were processed using the IRaMuTeQ software. Results: 22 nurses were interviewed. From the processed data, three discursive categories were constructed: the tortuousness of the Psycho-Social Care Network (RAPs): in search of a path; the abyss between the health professional and the person with mental disorder; and unveiling the care of nurses in the Mental Health Emergency Care Unit. Conclusion: We identified a lack of knowledge about the Psychosocial Care Network, anchoring elements associated with previous negative experiences that influence the professional-patient relationship, and nursing care permeated by cognitive barriers. Such findings are unprecedented in the locality studied and relevant to promote the qualification of the work of nurses in mental health in the Emergency Care Unit.

RESUMO
OBJETIVO: Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever e comparar as características dos adultos idosos, residentes na comunidade, que vivem com demência e que recorreram frequentemente aos departamentos de emergência. METODOLOGIA: Este é um estudo retrospetivo baseado numa análise secundária de dados administrativos provinciais de saúde no Quebeque, Canadá. Incluímos adultos idosos residentes na comunidade do Quebeque considerados utilizadores frequentes dos departamentos de emergência (mínimo de quatro visitas no ano seguinte a uma visita ao departamento de emergência indexada, escolhida aleatoriamente durante o período de 1 de janeiro de 2012 até 31 de dezembro de 2013) e diagnosticados com pelo menos uma condição crônica. Comparamos as características dos utilizadores frequentes que vivem com e sem demência utilizando os testes qui-quadrado e Kruskal-Wallis. RESULTADOS: A coorte do estudo consistiu em 21 393 utilizadores frequentes, dos quais 3051 (14,26%) foram identificados como portadores de demência. Os resultados salientam maior carga de condições crônicas, polifarmácia, uso de antipsicótico e serviços de saúde passados entre esses indivíduos. Os resultados também revelam maior proporção de doenças associadas a síndromes geriátricas como trauma e lesão, desnutrição, hipertensão ortostática e distúrbios de marcha. CONCLUSÃO: Os utilizadores frequentes dos serviços de emergência que vivem com demência representam uma população complexa. Os nossos resultados salientam a importância de abordar sistematicamente as suas necessidades, em contextos apropriados e por meio de intervenções personalizadas. (AU)
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe and compare the characteristics of community-dwelling older adults living with or without major neurocognitive disorders who made frequent use of emergency departments. METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study based on a secondary analysis of provincial health administrative data in Quebec, Canada. We included community-dwelling older adults from Quebec who were considered frequent emergency department users (a minimum of 4 visits in the year following an index emergency department visit chosen randomly between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2013) and who had been diagnosed with at least one chronic condition. We compared characteristics of frequent users living with or without major neurocognitive disorders using chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis tests. RESULTS: The study cohort consisted of 21 393 frequent emergency department users, of which 3051 (14.26%) were identified as having a major neurocognitive disorder. The results highlight a higher burden of chronic conditions, polypharmacy, antipsychotic use, and past use of healthcare services among these individuals. The results also reveal a higher proportion of conditions associated with geriatric syndromes such as trauma and injury, malnutrition, orthostatic hypertension, and gait disorders. CONCLUSION: Frequent emergency department users living with major neurocognitive disorders represent a complex population. Our results highlight the importance of systematically addressing their needs in appropriate settings and through customized interventions. (AU)

Medical service pricing system is the basic system of health economics, which has a profound impact on physicians′ medical behavior and the running mode of hospital. Rui′an City, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, freed up the cost space of drug and consumables based on the reasonable diagnosis and treatment behavior of doctors and selection of drug and consumables in the hospital procurement link. 68% of the free space was used to improve the price of medical services. 248 medical service items with obvious cost inversion were selected, such as nursing, traditional Chinese medicine, diagnosis, etc., and the price adjustment range was determined according to the agreed free space limit. Meanwhile, the credit mechanism of Alipay was applied to synchronously implement " vacating space and adjusting structure" , so as to solve the game problem between medical treatment and medical insurance, broaden the path of the " translation compensation method" of medical service price reform, and produce policy superposition and linkage effect with the reform of medical insurance payment mode.
RESUMO
Through literature research, this paper analyzed the research progress of medical service project cost accounting based on cost equivalent method. According to the calculation mode of cost equivalent value, this method could be divided into two types, namely, equivalent coefficient method and point method. This paper classified and summarized the application status of cost equivalent method in the cost accounting of medical service projects, analyzed the advantages of cost equivalent method, such as being able to consider a variety of cost drivers, concise accounting process and strong operability, discussed the existing problems of this method, and put forward suggestions for further deepening the application of cost equivalent method and strengthening hospital cost accounting, such as strengthening the summary and case publicity of cost equivalent method, reasonably combining and applying various methods, and scientifically and reasonably developing hospital cost accounting information construction, so as to help build a scientific and accurate cost accounting system for medical service project.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate medical service performance of the DRG pilot public hospitals in a city was carried out by using the entropy weight TOPSIS and the rank sum ratio method, so as to provid the decision-making basis for the DRG pilot reform and the high-quality development of public hospitals.Methods:The case-mix index(CMI) value, the number of DRG groups, the time consumption index, the cost consumption index, and the low-risk mortality rate were obtained from the first page of medical records of 21 DRG pilot hospitals in a city from January 2019 to December 2020.The entropy weight TOPSIS method and the rank sum ratio method were used to evaluate the medical services performance of 21 DRG pilot hospitals.Results:The CMI value and the number of DRG groups in 21 DRG pilot hospitals increased from 0.81 and 353 in 2019 to 0.86 and 369 in 2020 respectively, and the time consumption index decreased from 0.98 to 0.92. The entropy weight TOPSIS method and the rank sum ratio method had good consistency and correlation with the hospital performance evaluation results from 2019 to 2020 ( P<0.05). The overall ranking of the performance evaluation of pilot hospitals in 2020 was higher than that in 2019, the tertiary hospitals were higher than secondary hospitals, and hospitals were higher than maternal and child health care hospitals. Conclusions:The DRG payment reform had promoted the quality and efficiency of medical services in the city.
RESUMO
As suggested by regulatory feedbacks from relevant national regulatory agencies on the use of medical insurance funds, noticeable problems were found in the compliance and rationality of medical service charges among Chinese hospitals. Based on the practice of hospital management, the authors summarized common problems of various medical service charge management as reported by the management authorities at all levels. These problems referred to name-replaceable charges and affiliated charges, splitting charges, repeated charges, and multiple(false) charges. On this basis, the paper analyzed such hospital management risks incurred as regulatory penalties, fee disputes and medical disputes, as well as their internal and external causes. In the end, the paper put forward countermeasures and suggestions for reference by hospitals in their management of medical service charges.
